This Ibis hotel review praises the comfortable and clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a superb breakfast, while noting that daily room cleaning is not provided, and some amenities like in-room kettles and working lamps may be missing.

Itinerary started with visiting Lauterbrunnen first then Grindelwald and Interlaken later in the evening. Every location had enoigh time to cover the areas. 1hr 45 mins at Lauterbrunnen, 3 hrs at Grindelwald and 1.30hrs at Interlaken. Excellent tour guide (Robert)and the coach was neat. Only feedback to Best of Switzerland Tours AG is, in Grindelwald since most opt for the cable car up the mountain, you can stop the coach for people disembark there instead of making them walk 2km to the Cable car terminal. I understand it is scenic, but aged people who wanted to take the cable car couldnt due to the long walk. Else i definitely recommend this agency who does everything perfectly on time. No delays.

Tour started with a visit to Lucerne for 1.45hrs and proceeded to Mt Titlis. Well timed tour, highly recommend it to take the tour woth Best of Switzerland tours AG . Good guide, and bus captain. Only feedback, since the bus goes through some scenic routes, request if the bus window panes are kept clean for clean views and photos.

I would like to highlight Isa for her professionalism, friendly, caring spirits towards the team. Isa is a Chinese English speaking tour guide. A great tour guide I ever met so far. I truly understand that taking care for the whole team is not easy, but with her experiences and the approachable attitudes, she wins my heart. You will understand better with her wide knowledges about the Switzerland and the mountains. If you have a opportunity please do not forget about to appoint Isa as your tour leader. Long story short, this package is worthy !

Good tour! Nice tour guide (+driver) and nice itinerary, I’m really enjoying this trip! We have stopped in Lecerne for nearly 2 hours, but I believe if can add on another 30min would be great.

No need to worry about transfer problems. The tour leader was also very patient in explaining everything. The mountain train was also arranged well, with a special queue for group tickets, so you don't have to queue up yourself. The only drawback is that the time spent on the mountain is too short, only one hour. And there were a lot of people that day. After queuing to take pictures, there was no time left to slowly enjoy the scenery. It is recommended to gather a little earlier so that you can spend more time on the mountain.
